I have nothing against trials, but to me the title is a bit editorialized. Summarizing a study that is not a very interesting breakthrough smells like it attempt to promote something, but at least the article talks a lot about caution.

It's okay to talk about studies, it's just that it is a controversial subject, in my view, and the internet is not the most skeptical place, especially when it comes with medicine, which involves the health of people, which matters, unlike the earth being flat or round.

That sort of article will usually be shown by some people as a scientific proof that justifies their consumption of psilo instead of listening to a doctor, which is the real thing that bothers me.

Believe me, I want psilo to be an antidepressant as much as everybody, but I want doctors and institutions like the FDA to validate it. It's the same for everything.

If 1/3 of the scientists in that field would sign a letter that says psilo is a viable antidepressant and a treatment, that might change my mind too.
> In contrast, Macross is very unrealistic because Macross is equal to a pile of 182 Nimitz class aircraft carriers in terms of mass.

Is it? It's also 5 times longer (and presumably wider) than the Nimitz aircraft carrier. That would mean that Macross is only about 5-6x denser than the Nimitz aircraft carrier, which isn't entirely out of the realm of reason for a futuristic space battleship. If nothing else, having several tens of meters of dense matter between the innards and the outside where high energy photons are flying around sounds like a great idea.

It was also originally meant to house creatures much larger than humans, which correspondent mass, so the structure of the ship would reflect that.

Gave me Contact vibes. Love it!
Sure, I'm not saying it's a good product. But this "criticism" reeks of amateur-level understanding of Android and doesn't seem valid. Criticize that it's overpriced and useless - but the way they built the software makes sense.
More like Feeld, imo :)

Who is Higgins? Is this how public figures insulted each other before twitter?
Rebasing-only is a manual way to "linearise history". Whereas, a git log is a query target. And the `git-log` tool is one's friend. I bash-alias these for quick use:

git log --oneline # `gl`, to see "linear" history with branch annotations
git log --oneline --merges # `glm`, to see merge commits only
git log --oneline --graph # `glg` see the train tracks too, if I need to

And I know that git log has me covered, if/when I need to narrow / slice history more.
I remember discovering his Youtube channel, it was either during my first year of University and i'd watch them as much for entertainment as education. Every so often i'd find myself following along.

Between semesters I watched some of his search algorithm videos, including his two part A* videos, and recreated it. When semester started I took a classical AI course and the first assignment was search algorithms. And my goodness was it helpful.

I maybe be misremembering, but I think one of Carl Sagan’s characters in the book Contact was asked what she would want to ask extra terrestrials if given the opportunity. Her answer was along the lines of “how did you manage to survive this technological adolescence we are currently experiencing?”
It's not that it's bad. But sometimes the project and the team are not that big that its qualities matter. And you lose a little bit of readibility with type-intensive code.

And nicely written TypeScript looks awesome, but badly written TypeScript can be a huge mess, as it can with any language, but TypeScript purists sometimes forget that the language is just a part of a nicely written and designed system.
Has the concept ever been really tested?

If you play the idea out (I’ve thought about this for years, perhaps you have fully considered it).

I think this works for people of all economic backgrounds.

There would be multiple competing standards for lower cost businesses, will the low standards business exist if people get sick, or will a slightly higher priced but much safer low cost standard excel in the market?

I think many of the issues you bring up already exist in the current market.
I read a really interesting book, Jung in the 21st century. Off the top of my head I remember a part about a consciousness field that runs throughout the universe. I also listened to a podcast just the other day in which two physicists discussed an idea that the higgs boson may be part of a field that could be related to consciousness and that neurons and electrons behave in a conscious manner. Anyway, recommend the Jung in 21st Century book.
But then OP is correct: mecha/mech refers to humanoid bipeds. The Japanese word is not mecha but メカ (meka in romaji).

EDIT: I'm being pedantic. When used in English, "mecha" or "mech" is an English word and the semantics associated with similar words in other languages don't really matter. Where it gets confusing is that it's used in the context of discussing Japanese media (and its foreign derivatives) in English. The reason I'm being pedantic is that my native language is German and not only have German loanwords in English often mutated in ways that trip up German native speakers (e.g. wanderlust is better translated as Fernweh, whereas Wanderlust is more about hiking and being in nature) but the same is true in the inverse, i.e. a lot of English loan words in German have different or narrower meanings than in English (e.g. a Burger is not a type of Sandwich as that specifically refers to a sandwich using white bread and a Hot Dog always includes the bread and topping/sauces whereas the hot dog is just a Wurst and ground beef is never referred to as sausage or burger).
Good point. It could simply be learning how to enhance its survivability by interacting with its environment, testing to see if it was a new type of egg for a creature that eats bees, or something else that takes more than three seconds to think of.

This is what passes for science these days: a test designed to prove the hypothesis true, and analysis without enough skepticism. Simply saying "more data needed" doesn't make for new grants or exciting headlines.

Introduction: Hello I'm Noraini (Mimmy is just my nickname!) — a Junior Frontend Developer based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. With a fervent interest in technology and programming, I specialize in developing cool stuff on websites, my passion lies in turning code into visually appealing and functional websites that captivate and engage while always striving for high coding standards.

So what might control the frame rate? What happens when it's too slow? Does what you experience lose meaning?
LLM's can be good at guessing the code you want, but I've seen them guess the comment or documentation correctly, then the implementation is the opposite of what you asked. It also generated tests which were for the incorrect case, with comments showing the opposite of what you wanted.

For somebody new at the language or new to programming in general, that difference can be imperceptible until it gets to a review.

I've also managed to spot people using an LLM to write stuff due to them doing things which won't pass linters or code tests.
W3Schools being consistently shit for decades doesn't really reflect badly on PHP specifically.
I provided multiple links confirming everything I said in the thread here and other threads. I provided a link to the president of the university receiving threats and even bomb threats. You choose not to accept the possibility that you MIGHT be wrong. You're choosing to assume that your side, a side that is literally on the same side as a mass murdering terror group, is somehow 100% peaceful. A side that has been infiltrated by outside forces in large amounts and professional agitators. A side that is filled with young students who are deeply ignorant of the subject matter.

A side that literally broke into offices and barricaded themselves. I have a confirmation bias. Yes, I know Israel has been far from perfect on many aspects. I 100% own it. I suggest you own it too.

Also, again. Nitpicking is sad. You're using it to keep your confirmation bias. Clinging to one thing in the hope of finding a tiny mistake in my arguments that you can use to invalidate everything I said. That's much easier than looking into the mirror and acknowledging that you might not know much about the situation and you might be doing harm to your cause.
GPT-3.5 is pretty good at fabricating text adventures, I haven't tried any of the smaller models with that yet.
To your point, I have had the high voltage side of a high-efficiency furnace (e.g., inducer fan) fail and take out the entire string of low voltage components (thermostat, humidifier controls) connected to the furnace through an unfortunate coupling on the primary control board.

Hi flagged24,

This is a legitimate post for a legitimate product. If you have any suggestions on how I could make the post better and better convey my message then by all means, I am open to suggestions.
The assistants might be good enough to produce homework level or test level answers to contrived questions. But then utterly fall over in a real world codebase.
Perhaps. Homo sapiens ancient history is about 300,000 years though, so if we are just getting to this concept in the last 200 years, you might be a little over optimistic about the chances of your argument is going to have to override instincts developed through millions of years of evolution in the near future.

Zod is known to be slow. Typebox for example is much faster - not saying you should switch, but that it's not a Typescript issue or something that needs to be addressed by Typescript.

Your monorepo issues sound like you didn't use the same config in all the packages? If that's the case, enforcing the same config and coding standards would be the first thing I would fix. Again, not a Typescript issue. Or did you use ts-node before tsx? Yeah, tsx is much more robust. It just works.
I'm not an expert, but I believe it is the act of the model itself being used to align itself with the intended outputs[0]

We do that, though.

Most people accept that animals experience sensations and take efforts to minimize their suffering, eg, when butchering, hunting, or fishing.

We’re deeply concerned when people dont do that and, eg, torture small animals for fun.
My favorite mecha film is Ratatouille.
Not in detailed setup yet (as you could tell by spotting the 'PoC' in the domain), but you could try following the mock wizard on the build page (click the build button at the top) and go through the user flow.

I want to have it up and running ASAP so that people with experience in the related field can code themselves against the site right away or create a design audit from the outline.

Sorry for any inconvenience at this stage.
The frontend language for the web is JavaScript.

People who don’t like JavaScript but, for whatever reason, still want to write frontend apps have chosen to invent a new language that transpiles to it. To call that effort a standard is heartbreaking to me.
> You proposed we stop using the word "algorithm", I argued to the contrary

K, thanks for the review. It was neither necessary, informative, nor otherwise a response to anything that I asked.

You can make as many bare assertions about being right about the accuracy question as you want. No amount of them is going to transmute these sorts of replies into one that can't be plainly identified as avoiding the question I did ask, but you can keep trying if you want.
Why am I still doing this?

I don't know about you, but there is significant competition in the vitamin A space. Carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, etc. Nothing prevents anyone from promoting those today. The fact that you are myopically focusing on a single solution really tells me that the people going blind are just a side show for you.
> You might want to use a contact form to collect structured data, so it saves you time processing requests. For example, making sure the customer provides the right identifiers for you to find them on your systems quickly, or automatically assigning queries to the right teams.

As the author alludes to, I think collecting structured data from unstructured input (e.g. inbound support emails) is a very promising real-world use case for LLMs. The goal would be to make it as easy as possible for users to send you information, and then use AI to parse what you need out of it. This would lead to less frustrated users and even increased response rates (for reasons the author mentions).

I've been playing around with this idea at https://www.semiform.ai for anyone interested.

The rant should be: „Don’t break your contact form“, forms that are done well are good for both sides. Better triage on the receiver end, quicker response for the sender.
>Less Emphasis on Syntax, More on Problem Solving

Absolutely atrocious idea, but not really novel. The idea that you can go through shortcuts and remove rigorous training in CS has been happening all over higher ed, it's why every new generation of CS graduates to be frank feels more clueless than the last one. I include myself in this to some extent, my university education about 10 years ago already felt like a glorified bootcamp and I had to learn a lot myself.

But I do thank at least one prof I had for having us take tests on paper and deduct one point for each syntax error, it's probably why I pay at least some attention when I write code.

Saying programmers should not focus on syntax and this "it's just like, concepts bro" is such a pothead mentality, it's like saying you can be a great novelist if you need to use auto correct on every third word because spelling doesn't matter. Find me one great novelists who does not have an excellent grasp on language because you have spelling assistants. If you don't have precision, a grasp on the mechanics and memory and the fundamentals down you'll be worse than useless in any discipline.
"Our culture" really means "the ways in which we've become accustomed to doing things (because reasons), and which we believe everyone else should recognize as an entitlement for us."

Likewise, "our culture is dying" seems like an overly-dramatic catch phrase for, "we don't like it that circumstances are changing and reducing our ability to do things in the manner to which we've become accustomed and are now entitled."

EDIT: As another commenter correctly says, it's not a great idea to drive vultures into extinction. My comment is about people whinging about it in a way that suggests it's all about them.
They have morals and lessons, they are just so alien to modern Christian morals that they are misunderstood. I suspect what you are calling “hallucinatory weirdness” is where the important parts are that are being misunderstood, as these are often about spiritual unconscious personal development.

The book Iron John by Robert Bly is a great example of explaining the purpose and meaning of the “hallucinatory weirdness.”
Interview Advice
I've been teaching Mathematical Finance for over a decade and always
have students ask for advice on how to be successful when interviewing
for a job.

There are many sources of interview questions available. These are
usually written by people who were unable to answer the questions they
were asked when interviewing, and tend to go out of date quickly in our
fast-paced world.

Here is some general advice that never goes out of date that I wish I had
gotten when I was first starting out my career:

Be on time.
Dress appropriately.
Stand up straight.
Hold your shoulders back, but be relaxed.
Smile, but not too much.
Make eye contact, but not too much.
Get a good night's sleep before the interview.
You have spent years preparing and there is no way to cram the night before.
Use search tools to familiarize yourself with the company.
Bring paper copies of your resume printed on high quality stock.

## While Interviewing

Every employer wants to hire smart people who can get along with other people in their company.
All you need to do is show them you can add value and work well with others.

Listen to your interviewer.
Be responsive to what they say.
If you don't know the answer to a question just say so.
Tell them how you would approach finding a solution if you don't know the answer.

- Don't tell them you would use Google/Stack Overflow. Everyone uses those.
- Identify what the input data and output data should be.
- Suggest tests that would verify the solution is correct.
- Often that will be a good clue to the solution.

Never get flustered, but that is easier said than done.

## Ask Questions

After the interview they will probably ask if you have questions.
If they don't, that is a warning bell.
Don't be shy about asking question even if they don't solicit them.
Ask future colleagues about their work.

- What technical environment do you use? (Operating system/Software)
- What is your typical day like?
- If there is one thing you could change, what would it be?
- Don't ask about salary and benefits until they bring it up.

## Final Advice

Sometimes you will find you don't actually want the job.
Walk away and find an employer that is a better fit for you.

New York (the state, which is almost certainly what he's talking about) is mostly rural and has harsh winters. It gets a whole lot of snow dumped on it due to the lake effect. London winters are mild in comparison, and being a city, has more wires buried and thus protected anyway.
Rumi for sure. Coleman Barks' translation is the most popular, but it's also wildly inaccurate.

Many either love it or are dismissive of it, but I consider it a form of poetry on its own. e.g. Barks replaces Rumi's lust for God with lust for a lover. As a redditor put it, "he just makes stuff up." Barks is a brilliant poet though, and I feel he enhances Rumi in his own way.

Many accurate translations have difficulty carrying the poetic parts. But my favourite is Jonathan Star's interpretation.
You can certainly write "I know that there is something beyond mathematical rules that exists." That doesn't make it true.
Well, agency wasn't part of that definition in TFA. (Also, we'd have to define agency as well.)
It is hard to blame PHP for having been badly designed when... it wasn't "designed" to begin with. Rasmus Lerdorf had to following to say:

> I don't know how to stop it [...] there was never any intent to write a programming language [...] I have absolutely no idea how to write a programming language [...] I just kept adding the next logical step on the way.
Rolling little balls for no reason cannot be compared to insects trying to orient themselves upright. Insects have no inner ear like mammals to figure out what's up and what's down, they use light. Light is up, because in a natural environment in which they have developed up is where the sun is.

So the moths are doing something useful, they want to fly straight, but get tricked by the artificial sun, which happens not to be up, but hovering in mid air. The bees however are doing something that has no apparent purpose, they're not trying to eat the balls, they don't attack them.

An analogy would be the bees think the little balls are the surface of the earth and they are desperately trying to stand on it.
I remember codeignter fondly from ages ago. It was my first MVC framework, and in php. It was pretty cool.

There's some thought provoking bits on app growth and users in that feed. Just wish more of this was in a centrally, easily digestible place. And I'm surprised there isn't more of it somewhere.
it's worth pointing out Evan (co-founder of Figma) also created esbuild.
The subtle differences between comment/code can absolutely be a problem, I’ve fallen prey to it as well but as long as you test/execute the code you’ll catch it if you didn’t catch it from reading over the code. I often reject anything overly clever or that I can’t reason out quickly when it comes to LLM generated code.

As for not passing linters or code tests that’s unacceptable behavior from an employee. If that happened more than a few times I’d be having a talk with the employee followed by showing them the door if they continued to do it. I’d behave the exact same way if no LLM was involved.

I do wish LLMs like Copilot could use the lint rules and/or tests to inform the code they generate but thankfully it’s normally a keystroke away for me to reform a block of code to match the style I prefer so it not the end of the world.

To use LLMs (or any tool) you have to be able to show you can use it correctly, safely, effectively, etc. If you can’t do that then you have no business being in a coding role IMHO.
